Saw this morning that Juli plans on using Gnabry and Mane as false 9s with Sane and Coman as our wingers
That would be a drastic change in formation & tactics, would it not? Playing a False 9 would push Muller/Musiala further back up the pitch which would be a little waste of their holding talents and prevent them from making as many runs.
Unless that's how he plans on shoring up the defense a bit by not playing as high of a line to create some space for the midfielders to work in.
Playing a false 9 worked for the German national team, but I'm not a big fan of it for Bayern. But I guess you gotta deal with what the roster dictates. These first few weeks will be very interesting to see.
